Couple very minor updates:

gen-package-version v1.0.4:
-----------------------------
Updated docs to include dub.sdl samples, not just dub.json.

https://github.com/Abscissa/gen-package-version


sdlang-d v0.9.6:
-----------------
Issue #39: Remove references to deprecated module std.stream (@lesderid)

https://github.com/Abscissa/SDLang-D

I'm hoping to finally get around to taking care of some of the open enhancement requests for sdlang-d soon.

Great to see that it now works with ~/.dub/packages.
What's your stance on including that functionality into dub?

I have nothing against it, I think it would be a fine optional feature for dub. I won't be putting together a PR for it though, and I don't think there's all that much of a need for it since gen-package-version already exists and works AND doesn't require dub to be used as a project's build system.

(As much as I love dub for package management, and having the *option* of using dub as a build system, dub's built-in build system just isn't always the best fit for all projects. Pet peeve: I still find it very problematic that there's really no good way to tell dub "don't attempt to build this project yourself as this project uses a different build system, so just run the following command INSTEAD of directly attempting to build". I've tried to fool it into not actually doing the build itself, but it's quite messy and problematic. It claims to be usable as a package-manager-only, but realistically, that's still only true for top-level projects that are never, ever used as a dependency, and not for library projects or tools that other projects may wish to rely on.)

Please post your feedback to the DUB issue tracker. Ideally you directly group it off into multiple, actionable issues ;-)

gen-package-version creates a package version string for D projects. Add a hook to your dub.json and then you can show off what version your binary was built from and when, eg:

module awesomeness.main;
void main(string[] args) {
  import awesomeness.packageVersion, std.stdio;
  if (args[1] == "--version") {
    writefln("awesomeness version %s built %s",
        packageVersion, packageTimestamp);
  }
}

Oops, right, I did forget that this time, didn't I. Posted too hastily!

Can you, please, take care of this issue: https://github.com/Abscissa/libInputVisitor/issues/1 ?
